Being a newbie, I find the hardest part of brewin is the waiting. The day after I brew I find myself checking on the beer more often than I probably should. I've brewed 4 batches of beer and found myself either; 1. Transferring from primary to secondary to soon, or 2. Bottling to soon. Should I brew MORE so something is always going on? How much brew on hand is too much? Is this turning into an addiction? Good or Bad?

Be sure to give all stages plenty of time. If you want to establish a pipeline and have more things going at once, and have the funds, you can always grab a second fermenter, and start another brew while the first one is finishing up fermentation.

I just try to remind myself that the beer will taste better as long as I give it time. I pick myself up some "filler" beer between batches to tie me over.

I started last July. I now have two 6 gallon Better Bottles, an Ale Pail, a 5 gallon Better Bottle and several 5 gallon buckets. I have had 4 beers fermenting at one time. I now have the choice of 7 brews + 2 bottle conditioning and another 2 in primary.

Never too much.

Let them alone. Allow the yeast to make the beer. You will appreciate the difference over beers that are rushed.

I know what you mean. Kegging made the biggest difference for me. Rather than leaving beer in the bottle for 3+ weeks you can carb and de-gas a beer in about a week. I recently started brewing again after a big move and didn't buy any brewing gear until my kegerator was built.

And then, of course, you need to brew more.....

You did figure out the most difficult thing about brewing....patience.

I have 4 fermenters and a another carboy that I dedicate to Belgians thay really take even more time. If I brew once a week I can let my brews sit for 4 weeks in the primary and I can also build up a big pipeline that makes waiting easier.
